BUCKEYES
Who doesn't love a confection inspired by nature? In this case, it's a peanut butter truffle dipped in chocolate, which resembles the nut from Ohio's state tree, the buckeye.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer in a medium bowl until well combined. Scoop 2-teaspoonful mounds, and roll into balls; arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Microwave the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe medium bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Stick a toothpick or skewer into the top center of a peanut butter ball. Dip the ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter visible on top. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then return the buckeye to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter balls and chocolate.
- Chill the buckeyes until firm, about 30 minutes. Smooth out the hole left by the toothpick with an offset spatula. Serve at room temperature or well chilled. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
BUCKEYES
These chocolate peanut butter balls (no bake!) are always popular at my church's annual Christmas fundraiser. They resemble chestnuts or buckeyes-hence the name. -Merry Kay Opitz, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

BUCKEYES I
This recipe is so good that I double it whenever I make it. Since it is peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate it is almost like candy. Real buckeyes are nuts that grow on trees and are related to the horse chestnut.

- Beat together the peanut butter and softened butter. Add the vanilla, mix again, then scrape the bowl. Add the confectioners’ sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well and scraping down the bowl after each cup. You want the dough to be firm enough to be able to roll into balls without being sticky but not too dry.
- Roll the dough into quarter size balls (if they are bigger or smaller it’s okay too) and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. (You can use parchment paper too, but waxed works best.) These buckeyes will not spread because they will not be baked, so you can put them closer together on the cookie sheet than you would for baked cookies. Stick a toothpick into each buckeye and chill in your freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate chips and 2 tbsp shortening in a double boiler on low heat and stir often until melted and smooth. OR you can microwave by placing in a medium microwave-safe glass bowl and heating for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave for 15-20 seconds more. Continue heating and stirring each time until the chocolate chips are fully melted. Do not overcook. Add 1-2 more tbsps of shortening to thin out the chocolate mixture if desired. I usually use 3-4 tbsp total as I prefer thinner melted chocolate as it’s easier to use.
- Dip the chilled peanut butter balls using the toothpick. Dip about ¾ of the way in, leaving a small part of peanut butter visible at the top. This is what gives them a ‘buckeye’ look. Place back on the cookie sheet and refrigerated.
